IF you repeat lies many times, do they become the truth?
The Prime Minister’s continual of spouting of “sovereignty” is nothing but a load of bollocks.
Why would any country, even with a no-strings free trade agreement, allow goods into their country which did not meet their standards? Imagine the border chaos if every item crossing into Europe had to be checked for compliance.
Unfortunately for the people and businesses of the UK, Johnson has been locked into a corner by the lies he told to win a referendum exacerbated by the Europe hating ultra-right wing of the Tory Party nipping at his heels.

THE UK is not a nation, neither is it a country and it is certainly not sovereign. We are just Britain, the same as the Nordic lands are known as Scandinavia, a geographic reference.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
